SALINE, MI (July 13, 2005) - Sentient Sports provided over 2,500 New York fans with the exciting opportunity to compete in Long Drive and Closest to the Pin contests during the Champions Tour’s 2005 Commerce Bank Championship. Along with providing golf fans the opportunity for contest participation, Sentient was able to seamlessly gather significant demographic information about each of the participants to offer the contest sponsors, MBNA (Long Drive) and Bouchard Transportation (Closest to the Pin), with valuable marketing data.
Brian Kemp, Tournament Director for the Commerce Bank Championship stated, "The addition of our Family Fun Pavilion to the Commerce Bank Championship was a huge success and helped us expand our audience reach to fringe golfers and especially families. By utilizing Sentient Sports two first-class swing simulators we created a Long Drive Contest and a Closest to the Pin Contest that became the focal point of the pavilion and drove the excitement level for our spectators. Sentient’s customer service and expertise were terrific and matched our fan-friendly approach."
